Celebrating the Hammer Museum's biennial, this volume brings together the work of thirty-five emerging and under-recognised artists from Los Angeles. It features new installations, videos, films, sculptures, performances, and paintings, commissioned exclusively for the biennial, and offers a snapshot of the current trends and practices coming out of the L.A. scene. Each artist is featured in multiple pages, along with six foldout spreads specifically designed for the book by some of the artists featured in the exhibition. Essays by the exhibition's curators and many of its artists round out this volume that showcases one of America's most fertile and exciting artistic environments.Published in association with the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles.
